A tower defence game that is taking the iPhone/iPod Touch to new levels. When you start playing this game, you look at the graphics and think to yourself, “umm, plain and simple”. And they are, but when you start destroying the “Creeps” the explosion of colours is beautiful and you’re sucked straight into the game.

There are 5 different tower types in total and each of them can be upgraded several times, increasing their destructive force. The 3 attack towers are a Blaster (gun), Laser and Missile, there is a Stun tower that slows the Creeps down and finally, the Vortex, which you can link to other towers to power them up further.

The levels start off nice and simple, getting you into the flow of the game, then they start to get harder and harder.
The developer, David Whatley, likens the game to Chess, stating;

“There is your opening moves, which are setting the stage for how you will win the level. The middle game is where you do your busy work of getting built-up for the final push at the end. The end game is where it gets completely crazy! If you didn’t have a strategy up until this point, no amount of fast fingers will save you.” – Follow link at bottom.

He is of course, completely correct, if you don’t plan from the start, you can’t work fast to keep up in the end. He then throws in a few nasty “Creeps” long the way, laughing at you as your well thought out plan goes horribly wrong when your towers you have placed and speedily upgraded become totally useless! You hear your brain going, “What the hell is this, and why can’t I…damn, right, restart and plan again!”

You must take a look at this game if you have an iPhone or an iPod Touch, download the Lite version, have a play, then when you can’t stop playing it, show your respect to Mr David Whatley (and Emma) and purchase the full version. It is currently priced at £1.19 (03/09/2009) and is well worth every, single, penny!

We are looking forward to new levels, towers and unfortunately, Creeps! (Please hurry David!)
